Answer this question truthfully
### Question: What to expect if I have Juvenile idiopathic arthritis  (Outlook/Prognosis)?
### Response: JRA is seldom life threatening.
Children who have many joints involved, or who have a positive rheumatoid factor are more likely to have chronic pain and poor school attendance, and to be disabled.
Long periods with no symptoms are more common in those who have only a small number of joints involved. Many patients with JRA eventually go into remission with very little loss of function and deformity.
